Pinconing Goldfish

[bettaballistic]

I got a new red cap oranda goldfish about a week ago,  He's in a tank with my other oranda.  2 days ago I noticed that he was having a little bit of a buoyancy issue but was still able to right himself and swim normal. Today he was having a little bit more trouble and when I was looking at him more closely I noticed that he was pineconing. My plan is to move him to a quarantine tank and medicate him with salt and maracyn.  The issue is though I only have a 5 gallon quarantine tank.  I have a 10 gallon but it doesn't have a heater and I used low splash bleach in it so it still has bleach residue. Should I put him in the 5 and keep a really close eye on him or should I medicate him in his tank with the other fish in it?

If you seeing pineconing what I would do is quarantine and treat with metroplex in food feeding a small amount twice a day for upto 3 week add kanaplex to the tank  and do Epsom salt baths 1 table spoon for 1 gallon for no more than 15 minutes for 5 days you can also add aquarium salt to his tank as well @bettaballistic
